Notebook Topics Overview

Notebook topics are collections of notes that provide additional information on an activity. For example, you could have two notebook topics named Objectives and Constraints respectively. The Objectives notebook topic might provide a list of the main goals to strive for when working on the activity. The Constraints notebook topic could include information on obstacles or roadblocks that you need to be aware of as you progress through your activity.

Notebook topics are created at the Workspace level and then assigned to project activities. Notebook topics with sharing method set to Automatic are inherited in the workspace hierarchy by default. Those notebook topics set to Manual must be selected for display in any child workspaces. The owning workspace of a notebook topic can be changed, and you can only delete, rename, or update the sharing method of a notebook topic while in the owning workspace of that notebook topic.

Activities can have more than one notebook topic assigned to them. A notebook topic can be assigned to multiple activities, but those activities do not share notebook topic contents; the contents of the notebook topic are edited specifically for that activity. Notebook topics can include attachments, such as files or images, as well as links to external web pages. To see notebook topics assigned to an activity, the Notebook Topics column must be displayed in the view on the Activities page.

You must be assigned Notebook Topic privileges to add, edit, or delete a notebook topic in the workspace. You must have Edit privilege assigned for Activities in order to assign and edit existing notebook topics.
